Did you know that the money you give to the Catholic Services Appeal goes for specific services offered throughout the diocese?
And now that we have reached our goal, 100% of what you give comes back to the parish.
It does not count as income for us so the extra money is free from Archdiocesan assessment or tax. Many parishes use the CSA as an avenue to raise extra money during the year. If you have been hesitant to give money to the parish because of the assessment and tax from the Archdiocese, this is an avenue around that concern. Everything you give to the CSA is used only for those services that have made prior arrangements to receive money and everything beyond that goal is given directly to the parish. I encourage you to look into this avenue of giving if you have concerns about where our parish money goes.
